Various icasons are given to account for the loss, but the main contention is that the building is too large and entails needless | expense, Perhaps it may be found that the whole scheme has been | earried out upon a scale too grandiose in every way-—that there might have been a better artistic as well as a better financial result had there been less effort at magnificence and magnitude. Once upon a time a certain German Duke undertook to set up a new theatre in his home town, Weimar. He did not spend much money on the building nor on the acenery. But he got Goethe and Schiller to write plays for him, There is no record that he lost money. New York is, of course, too metropolitan to learn anything from 8 little town like Weimar, but the lesson is worth pondering. MAKE IT GENERAL.

Moreover, it cannot begin too soon, nor can there be too much co-operation in carrying it on. But the organization that undertakes the campaign should not | label itself a “Business Man’s League.” It should not affix to itself any class title whatever. The popular significance of a word runs far beyond its literal meaning. Give to any movement the name of a special class of men | and people will conclude that it is designed for the special interest of that class, The campaign for monetary reform will be heavily handicapped if urged by a league supposed to represent “business men” exclusively.

PEAKING of his observations in this country Count Apponyi says: “I find here a demand for education, virtue and truth that cannot be found elsewhere.” | Although this was said in an after-dinner speech, when the Count, a trained diplomatist, was paying the compliments expected from a courteous guest | to a geo Host, it must not be deemed a mere conventionality.

I shall never forget it, !f I live to be seven hundred, That there are no gray hairs round my temples to-day Is due solely to a freak of nature, and not to the fact that I did not suffer sufficiently. I have known men to turn gray overnight for less—tar less! ‘The girl was Miss Gracia Garland of Gramercy Park, But, when it comes to love-making (given the time), the girl and the place don’t especially matter. Proposing is entirely @ matter of mood—or accident, or propinqulty. I had met Miss Garland only twice before, so I dressed rather carefully and strolled up to her house rather than take a car, in order not to be too early. As I touched the electric button I chanced to slip my hand into my pocket and a cold perspiration broke out all over me. I had forgotten to change the ey from the pockets of my tweeds to the pockets of my evening clothes! No doubt every man has been In this dilemma at least once in his life; but no man who hasn't can appreciate the feeling of @ chap without a cent tn his clothes. Of course, there came the consoling thought that I was not taking Miss Garland anywhere and that I could walk home as I had walked up; but you never can tell what may happen, And {t happened!
